Um, maybe grub.conf isn't is easy as I thought. Here's what I've got:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9smp ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.9smp.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.9.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img
title Red Hat Linux-up (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Mandrake Linux (2.4.22-21mdksmp)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-smp devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/sda2 ro
hdd=id\e-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-smp.img
At first I pretty much copied one of the Red Hat lines exactly and
tweaked it slightly for Mandrake. That didn't work, so I added the
above kernel parameters that I found in the Mandrake /etc/lilo.conf.
Didn't fix things. Oh yeah, the problem I have is that it starts
booting Mandrake but gets to a point where it says:
Mounting /proc filesystem
Creating root device
Mounting root device
mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags defaults
... (tries mount read-only and mount read-only with some other option)
pivot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd)
no init found, try passing init= to your kernel (I think I'm
paraphrasing again here)
I've also attached the Mandrake lilo.conf if that will help some kind
sould translate it to grunb properly...
Thanks,
Bryan
